On the other hand, pannexin1 hemichannels, which are functionally linked to P2X7 receptors, have appeared more recently as important modulators of excitatory synaptic function and plasticity under diverse contexts. In this review, we will discuss the contribution of ATP, P2X7 receptors, and pannexin hemichannels to the modulation of presynaptic strength and its impact on motor function, sensory processing, synaptic plasticity, and neuroglial communication, with special focus on the P2X7 receptor/pannexin hemichannel interplay.

Its high negative impact on patients' quality of life encourages the production and publication of new studies that seek to find methods to prevent and reverse cases of loss of muscle mass and strength. Furthermore, the high prevalence of sarcopenia in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is closely related to its pathophysiology, which consists of a state of increased protein catabolism and decreased muscle tissue synthesis. Also considering the inflammatory nature of CKD and sarcopenia, the purinergic system has been an important target of studies, which seek to relate it to the two previous conditions. This system achieves anti-inflammatory action by inhibiting, through adenosine, pro-inflammatory factors such as interleukin-12 (IL-12), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), and nitric oxide (NO), as well as by releasing anti-inflammatory substances such as interleukin-10 (IL-10). Simultaneously, the purinergic system presents pro-inflammatory activity, signaled by adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which occurs through the activation of T cells and the release of pro-inflammatory factors such as those mentioned above. Therefore, the ability of this system to act on inflammatory processes can promote positive and negative changes in the clinical aspect of patients with CKD and/or sarcopenia. Furthermore, it appears that there is a correlation between the practice of repeated physical exercise with the clinical improvement and in the quality of life of these patients, presenting a decrease in the levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), NTPDase, and the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-6, such as increases in IL-10 resulting from modulation of the purinergic system. In this way, the present article seeks to evaluate the effect of physical exercise as a modulator of the purinergic system in the control of sarcopenia in patients with CKD on hemodialysis, in order to trace a relationship that can bring benefits both for biological markers and for quality of life of these patients.</p>","PeriodicalId":20952,"journal":{"name":"Purinergic Signalling","volume":" ","pages":"213-222"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11189381/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10045921","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This enzyme is expressed in a variety of cell types and tissues and has broadly been recognized within vascular tissue to have a protective role in converting \"danger\" ligands (ATP) into neutral ligands (AMP). In this study, we investigate the enzyme kinetics of CD39 using a Michaelis-Menten modeling framework. We show how the unique situation of having a reaction product also serving as a substrate (ADP) complicates the determination of the governing kinetic parameters. Model simulations using values for the kinetic parameters reported in the literature do not align with corresponding time-series data. This dissonance is explained by CD39 kinetic parameters previously being determined by graphical/linearization methods, which have been shown to distort the underlying error structure and lead to inaccurate parameter estimates. Modern methods of estimating these kinetic parameters using nonlinear least squares are still challenging due to unidentifiable parameter interactions. We propose a workflow to accurately determine these parameters by isolating the ADPase and ATPase reactions and estimating the respective ADPase parameters and ATPase parameters with independent data sets. Theoretically, this ensures all kinetic parameters are identifiable and reliable for future prospective model simulations involving CD39. These kinds of mathematical models can be used to understand how circulating purinergic nucleotides affect disease etiology and potentially inform the development of corresponding therapies.</p>","PeriodicalId":20952,"journal":{"name":"Purinergic Signalling","volume":" ","pages":"257-271"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11189375/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10062947","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The 2021 WHO Classification of CNS tumors incorporated molecular profiling to better define the characteristics and prognosis of tumor types and subtypes. These recent advances in diagnosis have not yet resulted in breakthrough therapies capable of shifting the treatment paradigm. NT5E/CD73 is a cell surface enzyme that participates in a complex purinergic pathway in synergy with ENTPD1/CD39 producing extracellular adenosine (ADO) from ATP. ADO promotes tumor progression by inducing immunosuppression, stimulating adhesion, invasion, and angiogenesis. In this study, we performed an in silico analysis of 156 human glioblastoma samples in an unexplored public database to investigate the transcriptional levels of NT5E and ENTPD1. The analysis revealed a significant increase in transcription levels of the genes under study in GB samples versus non-tumor brain tissue samples, in concordance with previous studies. High transcriptional levels of NT5E or ENTPD1 were independently related to a decrease in overall survival (p = 5.4e-04; 1.1e-05), irrespective of the IDH mutation status. NT5E transcriptional levels were significantly higher in GB IDH wild-type patients compared to GB IDH-mutant; however, ENTPD1 levels showed no significant difference, p ≤ 0.001.
